    Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

    That was fantastic. "I figured I better make the drive up here to Indy since we'll be playing in this game next year." I nearly ran through a wall myself!

    Alright, b-town locals. We have a serious situation on our hands. We gotta get Coach Cig into a tailor ASAP.

    Maryland vs Indiana - Game Thread, Fri., 12/1 @ 7 BTN

    I have to think it’s best they just keep X out and get him another full week of recovery. If he plays and his ankle/foot isn’t 100%, he’ll be no good guarding Young anyway and have a high risk of making the injury worse.

    One of the more, if not the most, impressive offer lists on our roster. Yet he never saw the field. Odd.

    Not to get ahead of ourselves but when we send play calls in from the sidelines will they be called Cig-nals? I have nothing on my calendar today, everybody. I’m so sorry.

    #LTC Light. The. Cig.

    On the plus side....he's 62 :-). If he takes another job, he probably isn't going anywhere else after that. Saban is 72. If we could get a coach that could build this program and have continuity for 10 years or more (or, hell, even just 8 years), sign me up. A young guy like Candle could be our James Franklin, which would be awesome for 3 years then he bolts elsewhere.

    Wut? Are they hang gliding? That should be like a 4 and half minute flight.

    I loathe our car-centric culture so much that I sincerely hope someone is actually flying from Columbus, IN to Bloomington, IN.

    That’s correct. So we will now have 3,000,614.37, some Halloween candy, and a $50 gift card to Opie Taylor’s (R.I.P.) to work with for football NIL.

    Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

    I have a really good friend who is a Tech grad, and huge fan. He's not connected in any way, just a fan like many of us, participates on their message boards, etc. He hated the Fuente hire from day 1 and remained anti-Fuente throughout. Said a lot of the fanbase felt that way. But it wasn't because of his coaching abilities so much as he just thought the he and Va Tech were a terrible fit, and the longer he was there the more apparent that was. Not exactly sure how, so this is probably not helpful. I don't know how I'd feel about Fuente being the coach at IU. But I wouldn't hold his Va Tech departure against him.

    Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

    That happened in 2002. He's coached a little over 3 seasons total in the last 15 years. None in college. His last taste of college football appears to have come 34 years ago, so it's safe to say he's never recruited. There have been hundreds of much bigger time college football openings while he's been unemployed and nobody has hired him? He's 60 and would be trying to jumpstart his coaching career at arguably the worst power 5 program in college football history. Is that really a fit for Indiana football? None of this even touches on his incredibly problematic history.

    Ok, somebody help me out. Throw likelihood out the window. How is Gruden even remotely appealing?

    Well then, time to… #LTF Light. The. Flame.

    Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

    I’m not sure what would make the IU job appealing to him, but in terms of the 2-10 in his 6th season, he preceded that with 3 straight bowl games including 2 bowl wins. For a program like IU, if we are going to have some continuity at the head coach position, we should reasonably expect a 2-10 season sprinkled in amongst some mid level bowl games. In fact, sign me up!

    Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

    I agree. And reality is our program would deal with this for the next 20 years if we string together good hires. A few years of success here is just a stepping stone elsewhere. I’d love to have that problem. It makes a bit older candidate like Fritz more appealing. Maybe he wants a P5 job as his last stop? Longer term is the challenge of stringing together great hires. Look at Vandy. They got that exact scenario with Franklin. Then back to being Vandy ever since.

    POTFB | Noon on BTN

    So many plays in the TA era like that where you can only describe it as cowardly. He may not call the plays but he set the tone for that at very least.

    College Bball Thread

    This is why I find myself pulling for Sparty on days like today. We are not a tournament team. If that is going to change I think we are going to need every metric possible to work in our favor. I don’t see us getting a quality OOC win so we are going to need quality win opportunities in conference if we put things together.
  20. Maybe my eyes deceive me but it seems like 90% of the shots CJ takes, he has a hesitation at the top of his shot. Does anybody know....has he always shot like this (like in high school as well)?
  21. That was a very catchable pass. Very. Could have run right into a layup. I think he took his eye off of it more than X over cooked it. Still, pitiful ending.
  22. I predict Reneau picks up a dumb foul elbowing someone going back down the court after a score.
  23. Marquee OOC matchups we have scheduled ourselves the last 2 seasons: Arizona: -14 @ Kansas: -22 UConn: -20 Auburn: TBD Kansas: TBD Totals to date: -56 I think we can get to -100!! Im glad we are scheduling these. It’s step 1. But damn we are not proving that we deserve to be playing in these games.

    IU Basketball News and Notes

    Fun fact: The guy (or at least one of the ppl) doing camera work lives in my neighborhood here in Nashville. He was with the team for the NCAA tourney last year. He does a lot of cool stuff across college sports but I’m pretty sure he’s an IU guy. I dont think we can imbed instagram stuff but here’s my attempt: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Czzmb8DuzH8/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
